Tamarla, the mother of the child who shot a little girl, was forced to work two low-paying occupations to maintain minimum standards for her son, and therefore was commonly absent from the household. The media blamed the parenting capability on the occurrence, when in reality, Tamarla was not in a position to parent her child as the unfair welfare system didn't provide her with enough money to survive as an adult.

Overall, Moore is accentuating the fact that the government and media are also responsible for the gun violence within the United States rather than simply the parenting.]]> 2017-10-25 10:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/1jre0w46ezm6/wish/200328205 https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/1jre0w46ezm6/wish/200330233 This component utilises interviews from the suffering population with low income to gain perspective on the situation. Hence, the chapter is reliable as it provides primary sources on the subject and subsequently gives insight into the reality of how individual parenting isn't necessarily what dictates the next generation's actions.

In this section, Moore is covering content of a sombre nature, and as evident from this Bowling for Columbine segment, he utilises this heavy information to solidify his points. The issue he is reviewing, is not of a complex nature and is obtained from sources outside of his opinion.]]> 2017-10-25 10:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/1jre0w46ezm6/wish/200330233 https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/1jre0w46ezm6/wish/200674102 Confronting Interview - he initiates the segment with an intimate interview of a person experiencing financial difficulties and in the same situation as Tamarla.

Moore's interviewing questions support the confronting details of their dialogues, questioning "Is that enough to pay the bills?" where he responds "No". There's also an element of ethos through the fact that the person being interviewed is a first hand victim of unjust social welfare.

The upbeat pop culture music juxtaposes to the heavy content being covered and therefore emphasising its emotional delivery.

A montage of labourous scenes accompanied by a sound bridge of Moore's voiceover depicts the severe working conditions, specifically 70 hours per week, which still "did not provide enough to pay the rent". Establishing shots are used to manipulate the positioning of the house with an overcast background to persuade the audience of how financially insecure they are.

Dick Clark, an American radio personality, is used as representational contrast of poor to wealthy, inflicted by the unjust welfare system. ]]> 2017-10-26 03:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_raftesath/1jre0w46ezm6/wish/200674102
